FAQ

Questions about the Cloud Certification Path Finder

Which AWS certification should I do first?

With no cloud experience, start with Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02). With hands-on experience, start with Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03).

Is AZ-900 needed before AZ-104?

No, it is optional. It helps beginners, but you can take AZ-104 directly if you already work with Azure.

Which Kubernetes certification is best for DevOps?

The CKA is the most asked for in DevOps and SRE roles; CKAD suits developers and CKS adds security after the CKA.

Is the Cloud Certification Path Finder free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so what you type is not uploaded. You only sign in if you want to email a result to yourself or save it to your CareerByteCode profile.
